Subject: 24.3.91.1; desktop-save-mode error in OS X terminal
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 20:33:37 +0200

VERSION:
GNU Emacs 24.3.91.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.20) of 2014-05-23 on angelofdeaths-MacBook-Air.local

TO REPRODUCE BUG:

In OS X 10.9.3 Terminal:
1) Create a .emacs file with only one expression:
    (desktop-save-mode)
2) Run 'emacs -nw' in terminal.
3) Quit emacs, and answer "y" on question "Save desktop? (y or n)". The file .emacs.desktop is now created.
4) Run 'emacs -nw' in terminal again.
5) The error message "Error (frameset): Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil" appears.

Note: This only happens when running Emacs from Terminal  (i.e. 'emacs -nw').

Please tell the contents of the desktop-saved-frameset variable in
your .emacs.desktop file.

Sure, here it is:

(setq desktop-saved-frameset [frameset 1 (21392 4856 213605 0) (desktop . "206") "lucifer <at> angelofdeaths-MacBook-Air.local" nil nil ((((tty-type . "xterm-256color") (tty .

BTW, can you reproduce it, or is it just me?

OK, thanks. I'll look into it.

I don't have access to OS X and I haven't seen this on Windows. But
apparently more people uses Emacs in WM environments than terminals,
so it's not unexpected to find a bit more trouble when using -nw.

-Oh, I just read your answer for bug #17693. Indeed, adding (setq desktop-restore-frames nil) is a work-around for both this bug (#17692) and also bug #17693. But the user shouldn't have to use these kind of work-arounds. A single (desktop-save-mode) should be sufficient and just work out of the box.
